Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it

The material harm to character and appearance combined with the serious highway safety risks created by the parking and access arrangements rendered the proposal unacceptable.

The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of previously developed land were outweighed by the material harm to character and appearance and the serious highway safety risks.
